23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
2m1f chase win off today's mark in 2023 is his contribution to the Greatrex yard's 40% strike-rate with chasers here; mostly solid efforts this year since returning from absence, and the slight rise back up in trip is a likely plus having found it all happening too quickly at Plumpton latest (cheekpieces added, retained). |

2nd 3 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Scored three times over fences (at up to 2m4f) in the first half of 2023; quite lightly raced since but comes here on the back of a good third of nine in 2m5f handicap chase at Hereford 25 days ago; needs considering with cheekpieces added. |

3rd 3 |
25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Three-time chase winner who is well handicapped on old form and returned from long absence with fairly encouraging run in February; only third best on merit when well-held second of five at Doncaster (2m3f, good) later that month but still considered here. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Three wins over C&D on good ground last season, including in this race, his mark going up 14lb as a result; won over 1m7f off his new mark here last time; up another 4lb but should again be competitive. |
3/1 |

1st 11 |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Won three in a row over 3m here last spring (good/good to soft); returned from an absence with encouraging sixth over hurdles at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) recently; however, he may well find today's trip inadequate. |
10/1 |

6th 4 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
In excellent form over fences last spring, winning three times at Hexham (3m, good/good to soft); can cope with drop back in trip for this first hurdling start since 2022 but has fitness to prove after 294-day layoff. |

Hasn't won since taking a maiden hurdle here two years ago but was running respectably over fences when last seen late last summer; couldn't dismiss him off a career-low mark. |

28th Aug 2023 Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |

Yet to win over fences but has performed with credit in all four chases, the latest a C&D third last month; acts on all ground and chance may depend on effect of first-time cheekpieces. |

Mixes chasing with hurdling and he's stuck on a losing run; last three efforts thoroughly underwhelming. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 77y Class 5 |

Course winner but it's now 16 starts since his last victory and he came in a remote fifth of seven over C&D on Boxing Day; he's not one to rely on. |

25th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 5 |

Last win was at Cartmel in August 2024 (2m1f, soft); best run since when third over same C&D in July (good); bit disappointing last twice, but no surprise if he were to run well. |

13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Veteran who gained four of his 14 wins here (one over C&D); ran much better than eventual 22l defeat might suggest on slower-than-ideal ground at Cartmel (2m1f good to soft) a fortnight ago; worth a second look here, even from 4lb out of the weights. |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Veteran who has won 14 races in his career including three over C&D; 13lb below his last winning mark but his efforts since last autumn leave plenty to be desired. |

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |

Veteran with three C&D wins and seven other chase victories on his CV; lurks on a dangerous mark but has been out of form this spring (cheekpieces added last time) and the ground may turn against him today. |

25-race maiden; ran big race in defeat over C&D (good) in summer 2021 but is effectively 6lb higher from out of the weights today and made low-key return from long absence last month. |

24-race maiden; had a couple of close calls in chase handicaps (2m/2m1f) in the summer of 2021 but he missed last year and has something to prove back 616 days off; best watched unless market is persuasive. |
